The “Beast Incarnate” returned to Monday Night Raw this week in the nation’s capital of Washington D.C., just six days before his defense of the WWE Universal Championship on the grandest stage of them all.
Brock Lesnar was of course reintroduced to the WWE Universe by his long-time advocate Paul Heyman, who not only promised this his pet monster would return to Raw next week “AND STILL” the world champion, but he would end the career of the so-called “Beastslayer” Seth Rollins at WrestleMania!
Winner take all, you say, @StephMcMahon?

Rollins quickly rushed the ring and laid down the law, admitting that his victory over Lesnar would not be a probable one, but promised that he would slay the beast, burn it down and leave MetLife Stadium as the brand new WWE Universal Champion.
Lesnar shrugged off his WrestleMania challenger and attempted to shoulder block his way out of the ring, but Rollins took offense and the two quickly got in a rather intense brawl. While it looked like the Beast had the upper hand, connecting with some absolutely brutal suplexes, Rollins dropped him with two low blows and the Curb Stomp!
.@WWERollins means BUSINESS. Could this be a sign of things to come when the #Beastslayer takes on @BrockLesnar this Sunday at #WrestleMania?? #Raw pic.twitter.com/MT5CJpMOsD
